First Look At Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes In The Dropout Images

New images reveal a first look at Amanda Seyfried as Elizabeth Holmes for the upcoming Hulu limited series The Dropout. Based on the popular ABC News podcast of the same name, The Dropout will track the rise and fall of Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes, whose blood-testing startup made her the youngest ever female billionaire. In 2004, Holmes dropped out of Stanford’s School of Engineering and used her tuition money as seed funding for Theranos. The healthcare tech company collapsed following an exposé in The Wall Street Journal, and Holmes is currently on trial for fraud.

Amanda Seyfried made her feature film debut in Mean Girls in 2004. She has since appeared in a number of successful films, including Mamma Mia! and its sequel, Jennifer’s Body, Les Misérables, First Reformed, and Things Heard & Seen. For her performance as Marion Davies in David Fincher’s Mank, Seyfried was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globes Award. The Dropout marks her first return to television since a four-episode turn in 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return.

Now, Hulu has shared first-look images from the upcoming limited series and also announced a March 3 release date. Seyfried is a convincing Holmes in the disgraced CEO’s signature black turtleneck, blonde bun, and red lipstick. Set details highlight her rise to fame, including glimpses at Holmes’ Fortune cover and a framed photo with President Bill Clinton. The images also feature Naveen Andrews, who is set to co-star as Sunny Balwani, Theranos’ COO and Holmes’ former romantic partner. Check out the photos below:

The Dropout was given a series order at Hulu in 2019, with SNL’s Kate McKinnon initially attached to star as Holmes. However, in February 2021, McKinnon exited the project. With the aid of her Mank Oscar buzz, Seyfried was cast as her replacement the following month, and will certainly bring a different energy to the role than McKinnon might have. She’s joined by considerable talent behind the camera: New Girl creator Elizabeth Meriwether will serve as showrunner for The Dropout, and Michael Showalter will serve as an executive producer and direct several episodes. Showalter created the Wet Hot American Summer franchise and Search Party. He recently directed The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

The Dropout isn’t the only Elizabeth Holmes project in the works. Apple Studios recently picked up Bad Blood, a Jennifer Lawrence-starring feature directed and written by Adam McKay. The pair just collaborated on McKay’s Don’t Look Up. With no release date scheduled for Bad Blood, it seems like audiences will be introduced to Seyfried’s take on Holmes well before Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal hits theaters. The two projects will certainly differ in tone and scale, one being a limited series and the other a film, but surely each actress—both critical darlings—will bring her own spin to Holmes’ tale of doomed ambition. The Dropout’s first three episodes premiere on Hulu on Thursday, March 3.
